It looks like you redefined pins on Cam M7, but the Wifi Shield is too OLD? - pin sequence on cam M7: GND-VIN-P7-P8-P9-SYN-BOOT-RST - pin sequence on Wifi: GND-VCC-P7-P8-RST-BOOT-SWD-SWC Any updated Wifi module? I’m testing on my own wiring… Cheers Pei ---

The upper pins on the wifi shield aren’t connected to anything so it doesn’t matter. ---

Great to know that… However, I still have an issue: How to test network? I strictly followed [network — network configuration — MicroPython 1.19.1 documentation](https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/library/network.html#class-wlan), the code is: ```python import network nic = network.Driver(...) ``` But, I failed to with the followingn ERROR message: ```python Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Driver' ``` Does **OpenMV** be fully compatible with MicroPython?

Have you tried using our WiFi scripts under Examples → Wifi Shield? ---

Great !! Thank you !! It’s working NOW… ```python Trying to connect... (may take a while)... Running in Station mode... [-54, 2, 'SHAW-xxxxxx', 'f8:f0:05:a1:b9:ce', '192.168.0.8'] MicroPython v1.9.4-4510-g23e8457de on 2018-06-29; OPENMV3 with STM32F765 Type "help()" for more information. >>> ``` Is the IP address fixed to 192.168.0.8? How can I set a static IP for OpenMV ? Cheers Pei ---

The IP address is given out by the DHCP server on your Network. If you use AP mode the IP will be static. ---

That might happen. I’ve got 2 routers, both using the same SSID name. The master one is a bit far, that is why I’m using the 2nd one as AP. There is a possibility that OpenMV’s Wifi is ONLY able to find the 2nd router ?? ---

Hi, you should edit your routers config to assign the OpenMV Cam the same IP address based on the OpenMV Cam’s MAC address. ---

I actually have already done that on my master(1st) router for OpenMV. But, it seems that doesn’t help on the 2nd router (AP)… Should I reboot both of my routers as well, because I’ve already reboot OpenMV multiple times, and it’s always assigned the IP: **192.168.0.8** Cheers Pei ---

The OpenMV Cam has no control over it’s IP address assignment. So, you have to go into your routers to make it static.
